Witness then asked her where she lived, and on being informed that she had a lodging at No. 10, John-street, New-road, he proposed, in order to satisfy himself of the fact, to accompany i per thither, but she objected to this, and replied to flume' ous interrogatories respecting her situation in so vague a 0. unsatisfactory a way as to convince him tl:at she was o ce of a class of impostors who are continually infesting ti e streets, and by means of fictitious talcs of misery levyi g contributions on charitably disposed passengers. He then told her that he should take her into custody, when,several persons exclaimed, " Let the poor creature go and don't hurt her for the sake of the baby," which appeal was fol lowed up by the prisoner in a most imploring and pathetic strain. Witness laid hold of her arm, and in bringing her along she accidentally let fall in the gutter a bundle of ra,-;s bound up and tied together in such a manner as to resemble the form of a child, which said " dummy" being fondled and hid beneath the capacious shawl of the soi-disant mother, had had the effect of enabling her to pursue successfully her infamous system of imposture.—Committed for a month.

BIRMINGHAM WATER WORKS COMPANY V. BIRMINGHAM GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. KNIGHT moved for a special injunction to restrain the Railway Company from making certain works upon the bed of a river from which the Water-works Company de rived their supply. At that part of the river which sup• plied the water-works it formed a curve, through the chord of which the rail-road was to run. By an agreement em bodied in the Act of Parliament constituting of the Rail way Company, the Company was at liberty to fill up the portions of the bed of the river which the railroad was to cross, upon making a cut parallel to the road for the stream to flow through, and connecting the stream by culverts with the water in the intercepted curve which again was con nected with the ponds of the Company. The ground of the present complaint was, that the Company were not constructing culverts in the form stipulated for. His HONOUR granted the injunction. THAMES-OFFICE. . .

A lady from Patrington took her departure from Hull on Wednesday evening last, at dusk, in a gig, at tended by a male servant on horseback. -.After--passiag Winstead (about 15 miles from Hull), the moon being then rising, the servant apprised her mistress that something was hanging from under the carriage and likely to be lost. She immediately stopped the horse, when, to their infinite sur prise, a little boy about seven years old was found extended upon the axle-tree, laying upon his belly, with one h upon each side, and his arms firmly grasped round the end-rail of the gig-frame. In this manner the boy had travelled all the way from Hull, with one of his toes occasionally trailing upon the road until his shoe was worn through. He was then taken home by the lady, and on Friday morn ing he was forwarded, under the care of Mr. Pinder, the driver of the mail coach, to Hull, where he was joyfully re • ceived by his almost inconsolable friends, who had him cried by the bellman the day before, and were proceeding to do the same again. His name is Charles Anderson , and his mother a carwoman in the Pottery. The boy had been playing about the gig after leaving school, and suffered himself to be driven away for the sake of a ride. - On Monday night, about eight o'clock, the audience in the large concert-room of the Yorkshire Stingo were thrown into the most indescribable alarm and confusion from the following accident :—The persons assembled amounted to about a hundred, when, waiting in momentary expectation of seeing the curtain drawn up and the per formance commence, and while all eyes were directed to wards the stage, a loud explosion was heard in that quar ter which sho ok the building to the very foundation, throw ing down the iron palisades in front and tearing up the flooring, which was soon in flames and burnt with fearful rapidity. The-room was soon filled with smoke, and the terrified audience made towards the door in order to es cape the threatened danger as speedily as possible ; in doing this several persons were thrown down and bruised, but no one sustained any serious injury. An alarm was instantly given that the building was in flames, and in a short period several of the engines arrived from Baker street and other stations, and at the same time Mr. Inspec tor Wiggins, and a strong party of the D division of police, arrived, and succeeded in maintaining order. By the Prompt exertion of the firemen and others the flames were confined to the flooring of the stage, which was much burnt. In about an hour after the accident all danger was removed. Fortunately no individual was hurt by the ex plosion, which arose from a quantity of gas having escaped from the main, which runs under the stage, and which took fire on the approach of a lighted candle. Happening, in the course of last summer, to visit the coast, I was pleased with the appearance of a stately church just erected at Herne Bay, in place of a mean con fined building which I found on a former visit. On offering my congratulations to the inhabitants I was told that it was not looked upon as a subject of much felicitation, having failed in imparting all the expected consolations, in conse quence of the refusal of the Archbishop of Canterbury to consecrate it, except on terms deemed inadmissible by the in habitants. The modest conditions demanded were the pay ment to his Grace of the sum of 500/., and the concession of the power of appointing the officiating clergyman. The inhabitants were willing to pay the sum of money, exorbitant as it appeared to be, but were resolute not to confide the selection of their spiritual comforter into hands so often faithless 'to the trust. While such events take place under our eyes, which even a child can understand, let the clergy cease to deafen us with their clamorous anxiety to promote a knowledge of the gospel of peace. It is quite plain that their love of religion is subordinate to their rapacity and their lust of power.-:—Letter in the Examiner. What would a country be without roads and bridges ? Mr. M'Adam, who has done the State signal service in his day, once told us that the roads in Great Britain are equal to the superfices of a third-rata English county. This, no doubt, is a great substraction from the land fit for cropping; but who does not perceive that a subtraction from the soil, under certain circumstances, may become an addition to the wealth of the country ? Where the docks of Liverpool now stand, wheat and barley at one time grew : the space com prises 100 acres ; and so omnipotent is art, that in place of a rental of from 2/. to 31. per acre, it now yields'a revenue of more than 200,0001. per annum. When the Manchester Railway was first talked of, the Road Trustees took the alarm, and petitioned strenuously against the Bill ; yet; in spite of this, their property has been improved by the very inventio n which in their opinion threatened to involve it in utter min. —Dumfries Courier. The tar and turpentine distillery of Messrs. Lee and Tall was on fire at an early hour on Thursday morning, but was fortunately got under with very trifling injury.— Hull Observer.

HANIBURG, Nov. 25.—Yesterday 120 bars of silver were drawn from the vaults of the Bank to be sent to Warsaw. At any other time no attention would have been paid to it, but in the present critical state of com mercial affairs this extraction of bullion has raised discount to five per cent., at which price it still remains to day, to the' detriment of the London price, which is very low.— Augsburg Gazette. The shipping which has arrived in the river during the last five days, exhibit melancholy proof of the ravages of the late dreadful hurricane, every vessel being more or less damaged ; some have come into the port of London without a mast standing, others with one, and several large ships with two gone ; while a great many more have met with the loss of bowsprits, bulwarks, anchors, and cables. It is feared that the recent boisterous weather, for it has been Mowing a gale, accompanied with heavy showers of rain, will cause fresh losses and damage among the shipping on our coast. Such a long continuance of rough weather has been rarely experienced in England. A DESPERATE HORSE-STEALER.—BASING STOKE, DEC. 3.—On Saturday last a notorious horse-stealer of the name of Perry, or Verry, was apprehended by the Newbury constable, Milsom. Mr. Mils= casually heard that . a man of_ suspicious character had passed through Newbury, on his way to Andover, and having got a descrip tion of him, which answered to an advertisement in the Hue and Cry, he went in pursuit, and succeeded in capturing him at Andover. The man was brought back to Newbury, and he had with him four horses, one of which has since been owned, and the proprietor, who came from the neigh bourhood of Birminhagm, has taken the horse away, and the others remain in the charge of Mr. Mason] ; but not so with Perry, who, after a. struggle with the gaoler, effected his escape on Sunday. Samuels, the gaoler, took him his dinner, and, being in the act of reaching him a jug of water, Perry suddenly sprung upon him with violence, and having got him down, he tore away one side of the skirt of his coat, and the pocket which contained the keys of the doors of the prison. This done, he, sans ceremonie, turned the key of the cell upon Samuels, and walked deliberately away. Samuels, being so effectually taken to, raised a cry, but it being Sunday, and a very few people about, it was full an hour before he made any one hear him : and, al though every endeavour was then, and has been since, made lo recapture Perry, all the vigilance used was of no avail, as the prisoner is still at large. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Wednesday night last, about nine o'clock, Mr. George Merrett, of Ncwnham, an owner of a trow trading on the river, was robbed on the London road, near this city, within a few yards of Wotton Lodge, by four men, who knocked him down, and robbed him of six Si. notes of the Worcester bank, one 101. note and one 5/. note of the Stourport bank, three Si. notes of the Birmingham bank, and 25 sovereigns. Mr. Morrett had a few minutes previously come from Chel tenham by the 'Magnet, and had got off the coach at the Fleece to deliver a message at Mrs. Niblett's. The four men rushed from behind a hedge in front of some new build ings ; one of them threw him down, another faced mud into his mouth, a thi r d f e ll across his face; while the fourth succeeded in cutting his waistcoat to get at an inside pocket, in which was a small canvas bag containing the above sum. After having effected their purpose the villains ran off in the direction of Cheltenham. The plan appears to have been a deep laid one, and was the more daring considering the hour and the situation, it being within a short distance of several houses, and surrounded by gas-lights. The unfor tunate man was completely overpowered, and it was some time before he acquired sufficient strength to get up. Seve ral parties are suspected, and the officers hare been on the look out, but as yet without success. A reward of ten gui neas has been offered for the apprehension of the villains. Two of the men wore smock frocks, one white and the other blue-striped ; the other two had on dark coloured clothes.— Gloucester Chronicle. Carlilc, who rendered himself so notorious as an op ponent of revealed religion, delivered a series of lectures l a st week in the theatre, Barnsley, on " The History, Mys tery, and Science of the Bible." Although he has now a bjured his deistical views, Carlilo seems to have very strange notions of sacred things.—Doncuster Chronicle. The Bilboese, says the Quotidienne, correspond with Espartero and Portugalote by means of barrels, which the fling into the river. A schism is likely to occur in the congregation of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews of London, in conse quence of an attempt on the part of seine of the leading members to introduce extensive alterations in their mode of religious worship. Should they succeed in their object, it is probable, as neither party is willing to yield, that the extensive funds attached to the Synagogue will be thrown into Chancery, and that a t °jai revolution will take place in the government of their affairs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 7. LEMPSHALL V. NELSON. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we went to press, the Jury returned a verdict for the plain tiff—Damages, 14/. EXCHEQUER COURT, DEC. 7. SMITH V. SWEETMAN. This was an action of trover to recover the, possession of 100 shares of the Potosi Consolidated Mining Company, the property of the plaintiff, which defendant had converted to his own use. The defendant pleaded ❑ot guilty,, and also the statute of limitations ; that the cause of action did not accrue within six years before the action brought. His LORDSHIP summed up, and the Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 1001. Mr. THESSIGER applied for speedy execution, which his Lordship said should be granted. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. In the course of yesterday afternooon the RECORDER, addressing Mr. Clark, said—ln the case of Alexander and Johnson, from the extreme importance of the case, I not only requested but directed Mr. Bodkin to prosecute, es= pecially as so much latitude is now allowed to Counsel, and therefore it is my wish that the full expenses be allowed. Indeed, I shall not ask Mr. Bodkin to acquiesce, for he has not an,opinion on the subject. Finding the Judges have sanctioned such a course, I shall order the same ex penses as if you had been engaged to prosecute. Mr. BODKIN—My Lord, I am desired by the foreman of the Jury to state that on g oing out he was assailed by five ru ffi ans, in consequence of having found Alexander and Johnson guilty. The foreman said while he was in the yard of the Court he was surrounded by a number of fellows, and pointed out as having caused their companions to be found guilty. He could assure his Lordship that they had come to that conclusion after mature deliberation. The RECORDER-If you can point auy of them out, I will take care to commit them to Newgate, and they shall be severely punished. Mr. PHILLIPS--The attorney for the prisoners will be most happy to lend his aid to bring the parties to justice. Edward Moran was indicted for stealing some valuable papers and books, the property of William Lindley, and Job Palmer and George Abraham Palmer were indicted for purchasing the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. After a long investigation, the whole of the pri soners were acquitted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A young man, named John G enesi, the son of the owner of an auction-shop in the Poultry, was charged by Edmund Thompson, one of the puffers of the before-men tioned shop, with an assault. His LORDSHIP ordered the defendant to find bail in two sureties of 80/. each. The bail was immediately procured. GUILDHALL. Yesterday two lads, named John. Noble and Robert Dc bensc, were ciamined before Mr. Alderman Wilson, charged with stealing a trunk containing watches, plate, and money, to the amount of 601., from the house of Mr. Shcarmur, grocer, Amelia -street, Walworth-road; and Benjamin Alex ander, a general dealer, in Field-lane, Holborn-hill, was charged with receiving the property. The prisoners, No ble, Debense, and Alexander, were committed, but the lat ter was, upon the application of his Counsel, bailed. Francis Williams, the porter at the Old Bell Inn, Hol born, attended to answer the complaint of Mr. Bury, of Kennington, for taking more than the legal charge for the porterage of a box from that inn on the 26th of November. Mr. Alderman WILSON said that the practice of sending parcels to distant booking-houses was a gross and shameful imposition, and, to repress it, he would fine the defendant in the highest penalty, 20s. If his master had been sum moned, under another clause, he would have fined him 40s. There was ' another practice he was equally disposed to punish, that of sending parcels by errand-carts which went some miles beyond the place to which the package was directed, while another cart was going to the particular place, and would deliver the goods some hours sooner. 'rho fine was paid. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday a distressed-looking woman, with two fine children, one seven and the other eight years of age, en tered this office, for the purpose of asking advice how she was to proceed to obtain relief from the parish officers, who had refused to assist her or her children. Her husband had been dead twelve months, since which she had endeavoured to procure a scanty subsistence by selling ballads in the streets, and she was in the habit of lodging with her .children at No. 8, Drury-lane. Being in very great distress, about a week ago, she a pplied to the parish officers of St. Giles's,, who refused to re lieve her, or take them into the workhouse, but gave her a friendly order to the parish of St. Olave's, which they said was her settlement. She proceeded with her children to that parish, but they refused to receive the order, or to do anything for them until they were regularly sworn to her examination, and passed in the usual way, when she made an application to the magistrates of Marl borough-street, who referred her back to the parish autho rities, saying that they were deprived of the power of or dering her relief, in consequence of the Poor Law Bill ; and between one and the other she was necessitated to wander about the streets with her family in a destitute condition, without the means of procuring a lodging for the night or food for herself and children ; but she was allowed to sleep the preceding night in the above house, and advised to come to this office for advice. She was informed that it would be useless to introduce her to the magistrates, who could do nothing for her, and that Drury-lane being in the district of St. Giles's and Marlborough-street, those - were the proper places for her to apply to, but the only thing the magistrates could do for her was to give her a recommenda tion to be relieved until she was regularly passed. That, she said, was all she craved, to be taken with her children into the workhouse, as she anticipated with dread being obliged to walk about the streets starving in the approach ing inclement season. Her name was Ellen Abrahams, and her husband was formerly in the service of Hughes and Croft, the wharfingers. A Mendicity officer who was pre sent informed her that that society would no doubt relieve such a case if she procured one of their tickets, but he had no power to tike her there unless he found her begging in the streets. She , replied that she was not a beggar—she merely carried ballads for sale, as she had no other means of supporting her children, and they had felt so much mi sery that she was anxious to get into the workhouse. An officer told her that she had received her answer, and to leave the office, and apply to St. Giles's, on which she burst into tears, saying it was no good for her to do so, and a gentleman made her a present to procure food and lodging, and to make her application, which she promised to do, and quitted the office with her children, who, with herself, seemed hungry and cold, and their forlorn case ex cited much sympathy. MARLBOROUGH - STREET. Mr. William Molarner, of Cleveland street, yesterday charged John Casey, conductor of Jones's Battersea omni bus, with an assault. Mr. DYER recommended the parties to retire, ttid e ffect an amicable arrangement. This advice was agreed to on both sides. MARYLEB ONE. Yesterday a decently dressed young woma n, who gave her name Helen Sullivah; was placed at the bar before Mr. ltAwLirlsoN and L or d MONTFORT, charged by George Chapman, one of th e o ffi cers o f th e M en dieity Society, with the following novel species of fraud : —The officer, on th e previous evening, as he was pass i ng through Portman.- quare, saw the prisoner, surounded by a crowd of persons : she appeared to be carrying under her shawl an i n f an t, an d solicited in such a doleful manner a trifle to en a bl e h e r to purchase some food for her starving child, as to excite in no - - - - - SIR,-1-lavirg ass-Isted as the Mastcr of the Cleveland street.

The match has been got up in consequence of the recent defeat of Watts by Phelps, the Putney man. The stakes are 121. to Kip ping 10/. ; but the odds are 2 to 1 in favour of Watts on the aver age, and in some instances 3to 1. Kipping . certainly was only a few seconds astern of his present antagonist in Lyons's match last year. Watts will row in Mr. Lavton's boat, and Kipping in the beautiful black boat laid down by illicit for Mr. Colquhoun. The start will take place at about two o'clock. MR. HORLOCK'S HOUNDS.—These hounds, so justly celebrated for their unequalled hunting, met on Wednesday at Lacoek, and proceeding thence to Lackham, were no sooner thrown into cover than their matchless music proclaimed the joyous intelligence that a fox was found. In three minutes the robber of hen-roosts faced the open, with the entire pack close at his brush, and making direct for Inn Wood, dashed throu the cover on to Daniel's W o od, thence to Monk's and Nestoru Park, into Cottle's Wood. When heading back, he finished his career at the end of w hour and a quarter, close to Mr. Fuller's lodge gate. The pace for the first twenty-five - minutes (all the while without check) was literally tremendous, over a country very stilly fenced, and principaly grass. The run presented a perfect beau ideal of a Leicester burst, ." sauve qni pout " was the order of the day, and to hesitate was synonymous with being lost. A second fox was found in Pitt's Woods, and killed in five minutes. A third was unkennelled in the same cover , and went away straight for Box Bottom, but after a good deal of varied hunting, was eventually lost in the vicinity of Monks. The Publishers of Southey's " Cowper" have much cause to be sati s fi e d w ith the position their work now holds in public estimation. With every new volume its reputation has increased, and it is now unquestionably the most popular publication of the year. The Court Journal of Saturday, in the following notice, does but justice to the merits of this standard edition of one of our most delightful poets :—" Before the ninth volume of Southey's Cowper' can make its appearance, let us invite our readers to an ad miring examination of the embellishments of the eighth. They are indeed worthy of all admiration, and the treasures of Cowper's poetry are, not less indebted to Mr. Harvey, for doing all that art would admit of to illustrate these lasting writings, than to Dr. Southey, for the labour, knowledge, judgment, and poetical sympathy which he has shown throughout the execution of his editorial task. The cot tages at Olney'—' the bobbin weaver' is one of th e loveliest compositions that have appeared, nor will the vignette, Olney from the poplar field,' suffer in comparison with any. These are in addition to a delicately -engraved portrait of Lady Hesketh, a face which cannot be looked at without interest. There is not, in our judgment, a richer volume in the language than this, which contains the finest portion of the poems of Cowper." Mr. Case, the American Mi n i s t er , i s as serted to have brought to King Louis Philippe a letter from Gen. Jackson, disavowing all intention, in the late misunderstand ing, to offer any offence to the French Government, either by his acts or expressions. The same letter is also said to intimate an intention on the part of the ex-President to visit France shortly. SINGULAR VERDICT.--Harriet Legerton, 33, wife of James Legerton, was indicted- at the Essex adjourned Sessions for stealing a purse, containing 3s. Gd., from the person of Robert Gladwin, of Thaxted. Gladwin deposed : I was drinking at the Sun, at Thaxted, on the 15th of Oc tober ; there were s everal of us in company, and the pri soner sat by me. She left about half-past five, and I, miss ing my purse, followed her on the road ; she went into a house, and I missed her, but afterwards met her on her way home ; I asked for my purse, but she said she had not got it. The next day I went to her house and asked for it, when she gave it me empty. Joseph Bateman stated he was in John Brown's beer-shop, at Great Eiston, which is about three miles.from the Sun, on the night in question, and saw the priso ner t h ere b etween e i g ht and nine o'clock ; ,be pulled a purse out of her bosom. (The purse was here produced, and identified by Gladwin.) Matthews, the con stable, stated that lie went to the prisoner's house on the Saturday night ; she then denied having the purse, but ac knowledged that she had it the next morning, and said she took the money from him because he was (bunk and she thought he Might lose it. The prisoner in her defence said that at the request of Gladwin she went into the Sun to drink ; that he took her by the arm and contained her there till six o'clock ; that on her attempting. to go home he fol lowed her, pulled her about in a most shameful m anner, and took liberties with her against her will ; that then, finding she was not willing to go home with him, he swore he would lay a trap for her ; she picked up the purse , she said, off the settle, and made every inquiry to find an o wner. The jury returned a verdict—" We find Harriet Leg erton not guilty ; and.we consider Gladwin as bad as she is, and the worst of the two::— ; ChelmsjOrd Chronicle.
